About this listen

What if survival wasn’t the finish line—but only the beginning?

In Oakland Hills, Milwaukee Rivers: A Memoir of Survival, Identity, and Purpose, Dr. Keyimani L. Alford opens the door to his most vulnerable truths. From the quiet knock that changed his life to the fractured moments of family, faith, and identity, this second edition goes deeper than ever before—expanded with new chapters, fresh reflections, and the lasting legacy of Aunt Grace. You’ll walk through his hills—the weight of struggle, abandonment, and silence—and cross his rivers—the grace of healing, resilience, and purpose.

This is more than a memoir. It’s a testimony, a survival guide, and a mirror for anyone who has wrestled with belonging, identity, and the courage to keep going. Every chapter invites you to pause, reflect, and recognize your own resilience. You’ll laugh, grieve, and ultimately be reminded: healing doesn’t come from what you escape—it comes from what you face.

If you’ve ever felt caught between pain and purpose, this book was written for you. Step into the story, find your reflection, and reclaim the hope that survival is only the beginning. Order your copy today.
